Pedro Pascal is the hottest person ever, she says. I wonder if it’s his beard. Or maybe his eyes. She’s always wanted to be lost in someone’s eyes. She squeezes my cheeks and turns me to face her. I close my eyes, press my right hand on my chest, try counting my heartbeat. How does one do that? Thud-thud-thud it goes and I lose count. She squeezes my cheeks harder and I re-open my eyes. Pedro, she whispers. I smile and sigh, waiting for our eyes to meet. She is looking at the ceiling. Orgasms make you do weird things.
